I’m looking for a command line program to add an entry to the import

  • 0

I’m looking for a command line program to add an entry to the import table of a PE file.
My goal is to add a new imported function from an external DLL to my EXE, and then with ollydbg insert new code using code caves. The new code will use the newly imported function.

Acctualy I’ve achived my goal, but to add a new entry to the import table I used Stud_PE, which is a GUI application and I want to automate this part of the process.

I’d consider programmatically solutions, but I’m affraid the PE structure is too complex for me to learn and explore in the time frame I have. Moreover if an implementation is already exists, it would be a shame not to use it. 🙂

    Found what is was looking for.

    m-PEFile for c++: http://forum.exetools.com/showpost.php?s=17e7516356489bb9dd17e294e147ef96&p=60183&postcount=3

    Also check out pefile for python: http://code.google.com/p/pefile/

    And PE/COFF 4J for java: http://pecoff4j.sourceforge.net/

    PE/COFF 4J has limited functionality in my opinion, but maybe you’ll find it helpful.

    Code: PEFile.h
